Simple Question: if you do not believe in God, why don't you?

Nope. Not bitter at all. You are projecting. I would advocate counseling, not theology.

Ask yourself, is this even a relevant question? How does it change your belief in God. We have a Creator. IF He has a Creator as well, that doesn't change the fact that He still created us.

This is why we were given the story of the Tower of Babel, to show mankind, that; questions [and quests] like these are all in vain.

Does it truly benefit us, and more importantly, is it something you would even believe, and if you did, how would that affect the way you view life as we now know it?

There are a lot of ways and phrases to use to keep this into perspective, but maybe we should just leave this as is!




Yes. It is a very relevant question. So answer it.

I have a verse for your kind also.

Matthew 7:6 New International Version (NIV)
6 “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

You do realize don't you that islam is almost the polar opposite of almost any other religion on the planet.

No other religion has killed more, enslaved more, raped more, tortured more, or destroyed more than islam has.

Lol


I have one better, explain why obvious contradictions involving creation exist in genesis 1 and 2.

As do I.

As I said earlier, as an engineer His existence to me is incontrovertible.

I love counseling, the psychiatrists are always stunned when they talk to me, I get invited back all the time for free to they can learn more...

Or perhaps the one who isn't afraid of death at all. That realize death gives this life meaning. That mortality is a great great gift.

I don't find many religious that aren't afraid of death. In fact, that was one of the greatest signs that woke me up....seeing multiple priests terrified when confronted with their own mortality.

Why should there be a burden at all? Kind of sound like you are creating your own prison through false beliefs.

It is a human and Earthly idea to believe in beginning and ends. Does Eternity have a beginning or end? Does time? What created 'God'. No evidence for any answers to any questions. How could we know anything, us specks of pointless dust? If using a 'God' explains what is unknown for you, ok. For me, that doesn't work.

I seriously doubt that. Whose ass did you pull those numbers from... lol

Religion is the problem. Get rid of all forms...

Ok...

The hilarious thing is. You dont actually believe that. Your endowed with the creators spirit. He breathed life into you.

You are in denial, but rooted inside you is a connection to God. You know its in you, you feel his presence. Why deny what your know to be true?

Then as an engineer you appreciate order. Explain the creation contradictions in gen 1 and 2. We will move forward from that.

Ah, another nihilist.

Good job repping for the brand.

I have faced death more times than I want to talk about but God stopped me from killing myself only once.

with a simple sunrise...

Cognitive dissonance runs deep with this group...

Show me what your talking about.

Those numbers come from Muslim accounts of their conquests around the world...

No, I am a realist.

I don't believe in God because I have no reason to. There is no evidence to suggest that such a being exists.

I also don't believe in the Hindu pantheon, for exactly the same reason.

Ditto for every other proposed deity that claims to be the only True way to see the world. There isn't any reason to believe it, unless you choose to have faith in it. I don't.

The universe is a wondrous place that I want to explore and understand; the frameworks of physics, biology and everything else are utterly fascinating, and the world of the mind is equally intriguing (if more ambiguous). Simply Choosing one deity or another to believe in, as if that creation story explains it all, is just avoiding the most interesting questions... and is basically a cop-out. As well as completely pointless, because the odds are stacked heavily against it being right.

Do not act coy. Simply juxtapose the two iterations of the creative days and post.

Because YOU exist

Well for starters 23 million plus in yhwh murders in the bible. Crusades, and every other war. Pot call kettle black.

NO I do not!

I'm not going into my reasoning nor am I making any fun of anyone who does believe!

It’s actually a crucial question. Are you a real being, that is, something uncreated, eternal, or are you a machine, something that was created? After all, the whole point of spiritual teachings is to ‘know thy self’.

Simple Question: what reason would be enough for you to believe in God? a

Are you waiting for him to appear?

So you attributed a simple occurrence of this reality into the divine. You see what you want to see.

What about those that are righteous and just, without believing in a supreme deity? What about those that treat others with kindness and respect, simply because those acts make this reality better for everyone?

What if one walks the path of nobility and honor but believes knowledge of what comes next isn't allowed. That if that knowledge were known, it would ruin this reality.

What if you could see the light in their eyes and their love of life? Would you lock arms with such an individual and call them brother?

Ah yes the crusades... which only started 400 years after Muslims conquered the entirety of the middle east and killed off as many Christians as they could not convert or enslave...
